Mail Day 5/7/12: eBay Purchases Arrive!

5/7/2012

It's been a few days, but I was happy to see that a few of my recent eBay purchases arrived today.  For starters, my 1976 O-Pee-Chee (OPC) Carl Yastrzemski BVG 9.5 arrived in the mail today.  There were two of these up for auction at the same time this week (different sellers), so I'm happy that I was able to get one of these at around the same price as the other one that was listed.  As a collector of Carl Yastrzemski, I'm shocked that I was able to land this OPC version in a BVG 9.5 for the price that I did.  WINNING!

I also received two cards that are part of a project that I started working on at the beginning of the year.  I'm not a fan of PSA graded cards, but I decided to try and put together a 1952 Bowman team set of cards graded by PSA (to help ensure the quality of the card).  I figured I'd start with a low grade that I can find and afford, with the chance to always upgrade individual cards when possible.

After my two arrivals today, I'm currently five cards shy of the sixteen card team set.  One of the cards was a pure upgrade, a 1952 Bowman Johnny Pesky PSA 6 that will replace the PSA 3.5 I had in my collection.  I was able to add the Maurice McDermott PSA 6 to my collection as well, so currently 10 of the 11 cards that I have are at least a PSA 6.  With a few months to go until 2013, I'm feeling pretty good about my odds of completing this team set before the end of the year.
